SignalPath™ 201-SA
(SP201-SA™)
Installation Guide
Version C, July 2004
Part Number 15469.0100
SignalPath Software Version 1100
This Installation Guide presents a quick, standard installation of the SP201-SA.
Note: The needs of your network may require an installation that varies from the standard installation.
For a customized installation, see the SP201-SA Customization and Maintenance Guide. For hardware
information, see the SP201-SA Hardware Reference Guide.
The SP201-SA is available in two versions:
• The two-port SP201-SA, supporting one trunk circuit of up to 30 channel circuits
• The four-port SP201-SA, supporting up to two trunk circuits of up to 30 channel circuits each (for a total
of up to 60 channel circuits)
Note: A standard trunk circuit (from one external device, through the SP201-SA, to another external
device) comprises trunk connections to two ports. The SignalPath™ configuration software defines each
side of the trunk circuit (that is, each connection to a port) as a trunk.
This document uses the term trunk to indicate a connection to one port; it uses the term trunk circuit to
indicate the complete end-to-end connection (over two ports). Using these definitions, a trunk circuit
comprises two trunks.
Before you start this installation, be sure you have filled out the worksheet for adding this device to your
network. See the SP201-SA Site Planning Worksheet.
See the following sections for a standard installation of the SP201-SA:
• Section A, Physical Installation
• Section B, Port Configuration
• Section C, Clocking Configuration
• Section D, Trunk Configuration
• Section E, Channel Configuration
• Section F, SP201-SA Warmstart

Note: The cables you connect to the SP201-SA depend on the protocols. The following table lists the
ports and line each protocol uses in this guide’s standard installation.
A Physical Installation
1. Place the SP201-SA on a tabletop or shelf.
2. Connect the cables for one set of trunks to the ports on the rear of the SP201-SA chassis, as follows:
a For the CAS trunk (DTMF, R1, R2, or N5), do one of the following:
◆ For DTMF or R1, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 1.
or
◆ For R2 or N5, connect an E1 cable in one of the following ways:
- Connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 1.
or
- Connect an E1 cable to the BNC Rx and Tx ports labeled Port 1.
b For the ISDN trunk, do one of the following:
◆ For ETSI ISDN on a two-port SP201-SA, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2.
(For ETSI ISDN on a four-port SP201-SA, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 3.)
or
◆ For NI2 ISDN on a two-port SP201-SA, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2.
(For NI2 ISDN on a four-port SP201-SA, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 3.)

SP201-SA™ Installation Guide 3
Note: Channels on trunk 1 of the two-port SP201-SA map to channels on trunk 2, and vice versa.
In a standard installation of the four-port SP201-SA, channels on trunk 1 map to channels on trunk 3
(and vice versa), and channels on trunk 2 map to channels on trunk 4 (and vice versa).
3. If you are installing a four-port SP201-SA, connect another set of trunks to ports on the rear of the
chassis, as follows:
a For the CAS trunk (DTMF, R1, or R2), do one of the following:
◆ For DTMF or R1, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2.
or
◆ For R2, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 2.
b For the ISDN trunk, do one of the following:
◆ For ETSI ISDN, connect an E1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 4.
or
◆ For NI2 ISDN, connect a T1 cable to the RJ48C port labeled Port 4.
4. Connect the SP201-SA to its external power supply. Then connect the power supply to a power
source (a power outlet), and switch the power on.
Note: Shipments within North America include a power cable for connection to the power outlet.
For shipments outside North America, contact your distributor for a cable that meets local
requirements to connect the power supply to an outlet.
5. Connect an RJ45 cable from the RJ45 Supervisory port of the SP201-SA to the DB9 COM port of a
control terminal—for example, a PC. (An RJ45-to-DB9 adapter is included with the cable.)
6. On the control terminal, start a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. Configure the
serial communications for the control terminal as follows:
❖ When communication has been established, you should see the user> prompt.
7. If you don’t see a prompt, press Enter once.
❖ The user> prompt appears.
Note: After you have connected a local terminal to the SP201-SA device, you can connect a remote
terminal to the local terminal and manage the device from a remote location. See the document
Remote Access to SignalPath™ Devices.
